in thread rfc822 type attachment (.msg ) file is not getting recognized.

There are weird newlines / empty lines your example post. Are these also in your input data? If so, that is likely a cause for the attachment not conforming to the MIME specification.

    Hi Corion, update:

    Upon using $parser->extract_nested_messages(0); option, code seems extracting the rfc822 attachment (.msg) file but that's not in binary format, it seems to be in base64 encoded .msg file.

    This file doesn't get open by the outlook for some reason.

    Any input on this would be appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Hi Corion, Thank you for the revert and pointing out the root cause.

    Yes, this is how input which is getting written in the file looks like.

    With the same format all other attached files seems to be getting recognized except this rfc-822 type.

    Apart from weird newlines/empty lines, could absence of filename in the attachment and description headers, cause this?

    Thank you.
